Hi all,

I have a lot of rectangular boxes attached to the inner circumference of the cylider. And, I am interested to get the x,y,z coordinates of each rectangular box. For example, for a rectangular box designed in solidworks, I would like to have 8 sets of coordinates (xyz). I would be thankful to you if you could kindly let me know, if it is possible to acheive in solidworks, if yes then how?

To get the X,Y,Z coordinates for each corner you can select a corner of a box and then select the Measure tool. Now you will get the X,Y,Z information for this point.
Unfortunately you have to do this 8 times for each box.

Someone once mentioned to me that when you export to an STL (or
what it IGS?), you can extract coordinates by opening the file in a
text editor. If you don't mind getting all the vertices in your
model, maybe this is worth a shot.
